As the music industry rapidly transforms due to changes in technology, the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) continues to work feverishly for the benefit of its members. As part of the Union’s activities, it has rolled out MUSIGA TV which is a music programme produced by the Union’s Membership and Business Development Officer, Richmond Adu Poku.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Adu Poku announced that the Union has been producing the programme for over six months now. “MUSIGA TV is one of the initiatives introduced under the regime of Obour which aims to showcase the music of our members and other musicians on the national level.”
“In addition to MUSIGA TV, we also have the MUSIGA App which allows members to interact with the Union and the Ghana Music Live App which provides information and news on the music industry,” he added. Both apps can be downloaded on the Google play store.
The partner stations for MUSIGA TV are ETV, Net 2 TV, CTV, ZTV, KFM, TV 7, Homebase TV and EBN with ongoing discussions to expand the network of partner TV stations.
The acting President of the Union, Bessa Simons on his part says, “MUSIGA has arranged with the stations to promote the music of their members and this service is free. I therefore urge all our members to take advantage of the opportunity to promote their music.”
Meanwhile, plans are far advanced to hold the Union’s elections this year on June 24. At a meeting between the Union’s Election Committee and aspirants for the elections, the participants agreed that they will monitor the development of the corona virus outbreak and the committee will announce any changes or otherwise depending on the situation.
